Nice and small - but ...
2000-10-08This is a very small camera. But if you like first class pictures, this camera is probably not the best choice. In tele zoom mode the picture quality is ok. But in wide angle mode and especially with flash the corners of the pictures are gettig quite dark.

Practical and usefull camera !
2000-06-21My sister bought this camera and I've used it a lot, it's great to have your pictures with dates so you can organize your albums cronologically. Also, this APS system is perfect for those extra lerge photos in which you don't want to miss a bit. I recomend this camera, it's a great value from a good brand.

Great climbing camera
2000-06-16I got this camera because it's the lightest and smallest camera I could find with a zoom; a key for a climbing camera. It does not seem as rugged as some APS cameras and it doesn't have splash proof. I'm a little worried about dust and water but it's little size makes up for it. The zoom is an improvement over my last APS camera because it helps enlarge the size of the climbers on the rock. It fits in my shirt pocket with no problem and seconds as a nice travel camera. It takes decent picture in comparison to other APS cameras as well as all the other common features.

We can take a lot more pictures at much lower cost with digital cameras versus film cameras. We can also more easily manipulate and share those photos since they're all in the digital realm.
But one thing many people don't think about actually deserves mention as potentially the most profound effect of the digital camera revolution: how digital cameras greatly reduce the destructive impact on the environment compared to film cameras.
At first, you might think, "How can that be? My film camera didn't harm the environment!" Even though it wasn't your camera that harmed the environment, your film processing did indeed harm it. Any time you take your pictures to a photo processing center, that film is run through batches of chemicals. These chemicals are environmental hazards, and once they are used to process film, those chem ...
